As Donald Trump weighs sending U.S. ground troops into Iran, Tehran and its allied militias are escalating threats and attacks across the region. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq claims it has carried out 291 military operations over the past 12 days, including 31 attacks within 24 hours targeting U.S. bases with drones and missiles. The group also claims 13 American soldiers were killed and dozens were wounded. It further alleged shooting down an MQ‑9 Reaper drone in Iraq. Iranian officials warn that any U.S. ground incursion could give Tehran a “window of opportunity” to kill or capture American troops.
